Create a WebDAV Folder

• Click on Files under the Control Panel
• Click on your course name and click Set Up Shared Location (Mac) or Set Up Web Folder (Windows) on the right side of your screen.
• Next, follow the instructions for your Operating System:

• WebDAV is used for sharing files over the Internet and is compatible with most operating systems. When put into use with Blackboard Learn, WebDAV is a means for users to access content from their course repository as if it were any other network drive or folder on their personal computers.
• When WebDAV, or a Web Folder, is set up, all of your course files can be managed from your desktop, dragging in content from multiple drives and folders and organizing it as needed. Also, files can often be edited directly in the Web Folder, without downloading them, editing them, and uploading them again.

• To connect to a Web Folder, use the following Web address of the folder and a valid username and password.
• Each folder selected will have a different URL.
• Any folder can be selected; however, the Web Folder path must be less than 240 characters.

Set Up Shared Locations in Mac OS

• On the Finder bar, select the Go menu and then, select Connect to Server.
• In the Connect to Server window, type https://bblearn.linfield.edu/bbcswebdav/courses/Sanbox901 in the Server Address field. Click the plus sign to add this address to the Favorite Servers box.
• Click Connect. When prompted to enter a name and password, type your Blackboard Learn username and password. Click Connect.
• The Shared Location will open. It will now be listed in the Computer sidebar under Shared.

Find the Web Address for another folder

• Navigate to the folder in the Blackboard Content System.
• Navigate to the Edit Folder Settings page. The Address field on this page (not the address displayed by the Web browser) contains the URL needed to map to the folder.

Set Up Web Folders in Windows 7

• Open Start > Computer.
• In the empty area at the bottom of the right-hand pane, right-click and select Add a network location.
• The Add Network Location Wizard will open. Click Next.
• When asked where you want to create the network location, select Choose a custom network location. Click Next.
• When asked for the location of your website, type https://bblearn.linfield.edu/bbcswebdav/courses/Sanbox901. Click Next.
• When prompted to enter a username and password, type your Blackboard Learn username and password. Click OK.
• You will be prompted to enter a name for the location. Enter a name and select Next.
• On the Completing the Add Network Location Wizard page, Click Finish.
• The Web Folder will open. It will now be listed in Computer under Network Location.

• On some Windows versions, you cannot connect to Web Folders without using SSL. Microsoft's Knowledge Base article KB841215 describes how to work around this problem.
• If Office 2003 is installed, Web Folders do not appear to work. Upgrading to Office 2007 should resolve this.
